In the pattern I teach you my “top-stitch appliqué” technique, though you are most welcome to use your personal favorite technique.

For my quilt top, I used Lecien’s yarn-dyed linen, which is linen-licious! Lecien sent me 3 choices, black, charcoal, or cream, and gosh each one is gorgeous! I chose the cream color for the back and black for the back.

For the quilting, I echoed the medallion design by playing with nested tear drops and pebbles.

Then, right when I got to quilt market last October, I made my friend Sari hold the quilt in her faaaaabulous heals! (Thanks for humoring me, girl!)
